Figure it out, chowderheads.
For years I clung to the belief that, despite the rise in hostility to the Jewish community, we could still build lives here. I had watched from abroad during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party from 2015 to 2020, when Jew-hate poisoned the party and seeped into wider politics. Yet, despite my deep disappointment, I still believed in this country enough to move back from Hong Kong in 2022. I wanted to believe the Jewish story here still had a future, and I was determined to be a part of it.
October 7, 2023, changed everything. Hamas carried out the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, and instead of residents recoiling in horror, Britain’s streets filled with marches that celebrated it. Even after two Jews were massacred in Manchester yesterday, on Yom Kippur, the marches continued.
Jew-hatred has become mainstream here. It has been excused by leaders. It has been embedded in a culture where terrorism is justified and Jewish suffering denied.
Your main problem is right up there in that first sentence, that “for years I clung to the belief” business.
CLUE TO THE CLUELESS: For many deca∂es, Once-Great Britain was run by “liberals.” Now, it is run by Moslems. Moslems hate Jews with a passion as burning-hot as the Sun. So do “liberals.” Period, full stop, end of story. Figure it the fuck or die; there is no “Third Way” here.

“…there is no “Third Way” here.”
I can think of one, but there are not enough Jews in England to pull it off I’m afraid.
The other day a commenter at Insty spent a lot of time focusing on the Jew Hatred evident in the UK, especially at the Institutional level.
He felt that this was the harbinger of wider hatred.
When someone pointed out that Rotherham was largely an institutionalized criminal assault on basically British Christians he got distraught.
I pointed out to him that making common cause with native British Christians was just the Alliance that was needed for the British Jewish population. I’m not sure he got my point.
Now that you mention it, what I should have said is that an Alliance like that becomes a Force Multiplier.
THis is why in the US the Leftists spend so much time trying to separate us into little tribes and set each other at each other.
Ironically their attempts to smear Trump with Anti-Hispanic rhetoric because of his stance on illegal Immigration has backfired. Instead of cleaving off Hispanic support, it has increased Legal Hispanic support (whether that is a centuries old Hispanic family or a newly legal immigrant) for Trump. They don’t like the Illegals either.
Same situaion with Black Americans.
Trump’s strength is that he truly IS what they say they are and aren’t.
He is America First regardless of race, creed, ethnicity or gender.
“He is America First…”
And the first since Ike to be 100% in that.
I agree with everything you wrote.
